Christmas With Tilda and Finally Some Colouring

Good Evening Crafting friends well I know what your thinking 'whoopee she actually got those markers out' and yes I have it seems like ages since I did any colouring and so I really enjoyed colouring these two images sent to me by the lovely Loz in the candy I won on her blog.I have kept this one pretty simple.I have coloured using promarkers and I highlighted the snow and Tildas trims with glitter,the paper is from papermanias joyeux noel a set they released last year,the border through the middle has been done using a martha stewart punch ,I used nestabilities and finished off with some ribbon and red gems.

I hope you like it.I know you don't see that many Tilda's on my blog but she does creep in now and then and to be really honest I couldn't possibly afford them all there always seems to be new ones every time i look round lol.

Winter Wolf In The Snow

Hello everyone I hope your having a good day wherever you are in the world.

As promised here is my card I made,this one is for my mum and dad as my mum loves wolves and after all her maiden name is Wolfe lol I also think this image is perfect for men too so it will suit both my mum and my dad.

The image is from Debbi Moores Crystal Dreams CD rom and so are the papers I have used.

I have embellished the card with poinsettia and swirl dies from Marianne Designs and the tag die is a nestabilities die.The sentiment says 'Snow many ways to wish you a merry christmas' which came from a cute companions stamp set and to finish off I have added some holographic card candy.I have also added some glitter to the snow on the topper and the swirls and poinsettia has also been sparkled up too.Oops almost forgot I have also added gems to my card too.

Please forgive my bathroom shelf being in the piccy it was the only place I could take it as its so dull here.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Bearly mine challenge-Favourite things(glitter,animals,cd roms,dies)
